Interesting.

You require a cute name for food before you will eat it? Because calling it “mechanically separated chicken” doesn’t work for you, but “chicken nuggets” does.

Well, if having to lie to yourself to make food delicious works for you, more power to you.

I, on the other hand, am firmly aware of what I’m eating. I don’t need anyone to lie to me about it.

Chicken nuggets are processed meat. Spam is. Lunch meat is. Most ham is.

It’s gonna be marginal quality because of how military contracts go, but processed meat is not the problem.

It’s said that Germans in WWII knew they were in trouble when the US shipped cake from the US to the front lines. And we had an ice cream ship in the Pacific.

This news truly does not bode well for our superiority.

You can’t just create such a space. It happens because people who know things hang out in places where people who ask questions also are. And such that the community encourages answering such questions.

If Lemmy continues to grow, it is possible this will happen if enough communities are formed that support in-depth discussion of issue, or become places where people seek help because people there are helpful.

Woever made this image should learn the difference between line spacing and paragraph spacing…

This is an example
of line spacing which
clearly shows it’s together

And now this is a new
bit that is separate from
the above bit

Readability is important.

To be brutally honest though, I didn’t so much want to disagree as really to just post that clip and talk about it. LOL

While that was hilarious, I must humbly - yet strongly - disagree.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGvblGCD7qM - 1m40s in when Dark Helmet throws the mic away does it for me. But my favorite joke - not the best, but my favorite - because I didn’t catch it the first hundred times I saw - is also in this clip at 2m20s where Dark Helmet taps Colonel Sandurz on the chest - who looks at the hand, the camera, realizes it’s coming in, and backs out of the shot. That’s just… oh man, that is like the pinnacle of the detailed thought that went into a very very silly movie.

So many movies just throw actors out there and get them to improv, and that can be great. But the sheer density of hilarity in Spaceballs, Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstien and others… it’s just a beautiful thing. When it feels like 75% of the movie is quotable. lol

So I don’t disagree that the Virgin Alarm was great, but I think the above clip is ten times better. But you’re allowed to reverse that rating for you, of course. Long as you and I love the movie, I’m satisfied. :)

Requels suck. We already quelled enough the first time! :)

I’m sorry, Dave. I’m afraid I can’t exit vim.

I bet this comment actually pissed off some people. Lol

Failures are making occasional news, but bots are getting better at walking. Doing useful tasks will be a few more years, but I think it’s coming.

Damn straight on all points!

You don’t have to listen to them, just like you don’t have to be a prick about it.

I already thought the whole thing was stupid, and THEN I saw the Doordash-branded car… lolololol. That took it to the next level of stupid.

It seems like that Snopes article is more about defending them than really addressing how staged the whole thing was. It’s rather disappointing. I’m normally decently supportive of Snopes. It’s certainly not a “woke pile of bullshit” like fascists love to claim (because it calls out their lies, typically). This article is rather disappointing. I feel like they should have spent a bit more time on just how bullshit the delivery was.

And knots per hour per hour would be a measure of ever-increasing acceleration, so this is getting out of hand quickly now :)

Being a prick is not a reason to be proud.

Alas, Iran treats their citizens like shit, so about the same give or take on some fronts. heh

Someone earlier said there are no winners in this war, and I’m really inclined to agree.

fact that people have been using that

The way language works is that people use things and they become correct.

There’s things I hate, too, like “yea” now being a spelling for “yeah”. But it’s useless to fight it.

All you’re doing is being a grammar nazi to someone who at most said the equivalent of “$30 million dollars”, which is technically, thanks to the dollar sign, “thirty million dollars dollars”.

You knew what they meant. I knew what they meant. Everyone knew what they meant. There was absolutely zero ambiguity, so you just come off looking like a prick.
